Did you buy the FTO as a shell or does it have an engine in it. If you have a few extra yoyos lying around ya might look into doing a vr4 conversion on it if the shell is in good nick.
Plenty of info and advise on here about almost everything.

Yeah it'll be cheaper alright. As Colm said there is wildhound that has one. Also steelroe breaks alot of FTOs. Other than that partfinder.ie has a few FTO mivecs up for breaking.
You won't go wrong with an engine here, the lads and ladies are all decent

Stick in your location and before anyone else says it stick up pics :mrgreen:

The engine I have had a big end failure too, which is why we broke it for parts.

However shellier46 on here has one for €300, send him a PM!

Turbo teg, cant be many of them around. I didnt realise you could turbo them to be honest, thought most Honda folks went the supercharger route. Intercooler suits it.

I swear to god, one day I was late for work because I spent 10 mins straight trying to get the fooking thing off. No matter what I did, even though all the links were aligned, no WAY would it open.
